I think the 12v is rated for a max of a 2500 watt inverter. You would have to attach directly to the battery terminals. The power port plugs are rated much, much lower.

no you will not damage the car. The car controls how much charge it accepts. The Juicebox will continue to function as it has, just no remote data/control.

iDrive-->Settings-->Charging Basically the lowest setting is 50% of Max, medium setting is 75% of Max

Get a new battery. A healthy battery would have been fine sitting for 2 weeks. The 12v battery is charged when: 1: The car is “ON” Driving or not does not matter. 2: When the car is being charged. 3: When the battery voltage discharges to 12.0 volts, the car will come on by itself to boost the...

Ideally fully charged, but almost any level above maybe 40% would be fine. You will only have an issue if your 12v fails (or is currently failing) during those 14 days.

perhaps. but don't plug it into the power plugs as they all shut off after about 15 minutes when the car is turned off. Depending on the draw, you may encounter "Battery Discharged While Stopped" error messages, which would refer to the HV battery draining (to charge the 12v) while the car is...

Yes but it is not necessary as I have documented that if the 12v battery discharges to exactly 12.0 volts, the car comes on automatically and "boosts" the 12v battery for exactly One Hour. If the 12v is in good health, this will continue as long as needed. If, however, the 12v battery is...

I just posted what the issue apparently is. The service is down due to the Hurricane in the SE

The service is down due to the hurricane

this has to do with hurricane Helene affecting server locations. There is a post about it on BMW website if you try to log in to your account.

I just checked mine again. I have no active subscription, but used to be able to send addresses to the car's nav via the app anyways. Today it would not send the address after several attempts so I am going to assume it is an issue with BMW Servers. All app data has to go through BMW Servers...

Your subscription expired. The app will still do basic Remote functions without a subscription. It will not show charging status or vehicle status though. They changed this earlier this year and it is very confusing for people who are not aware of it

I think this is an unrealistic estimate for a BEV with a now 7 year old battery. Especially for a new owner. Last year I did a 220 mile highway miles round trip with my 2017 BEV. My first stop was at a WalMart with DC Fast Chargers that was 82 miles away. All highway driving and I drove fairly...

probably 100 miles if you keep it below 65mph

1: Yes L1 is fine. Use Maximum if the circuit you are plugged in to can handle it. Check the outlet after a couple hours and feel if it is noticeably warm. If so, reduce the charging rate. The weak point in most L1 charging situations is the outlet you are plugged in to. These tend to be...

Agreed. Based on the earlier observation that it charged on L3 (DC). If I recall the KLE is divided into two lines so if one failed, a L2 charge would act as a L1 charge but a L1 charge alone would not work. Is there any way you can get this on a tow truck and get to a L2 charger to test...

if the aftermarket L1 charger "trips" your surge protector, try going into the iDrive settings and adjust the L1 charge rate to the lowest setting. Then see if it will "work". If it still trips the breaker, you most likely have an electrical problem that is external to the car. The only...

Later models of the i3 were somewhat "de-contented" apparently due to supply chain issues at the time. Pretty sure the Compass Mirror was one of those items not available in later models.

It will not "overcharge". The onboard charger takes care of all aspects of charging.

Yes it will work
